Aka - magnetized Magnetite

~ It has been theorized that Magnetite that becomes magnetized to form the Lodestones that have been found by humans — do so through lightning strikes.

~ Lightning is the result of an electrical imbalance between storm clouds and the ground.
~ The imbalance is unstable and is corrected by the discharge of electricity in the form of an electric current.

~ The electric current appears as lightning because the rapid flow of electrons from the cloud to the ground creates a plasma which emits blackbody radiation as visible light.

~ When lightning strikes the earth, it briefly creates a very strong electromagnetic field.
~ It is this very strong magnetic field that is believed to magnetize Magnetite — creating a Lodestone.

~ Since Lodestones are typically found near the surface of the earth — not deeply buried in the ground — it is very possible that lightning is indeed what provides the necessary magnetic field to magnetize the Magnetite into Lodestone.

Seal
Th 37213710 Th 3427724990 Th 3396235632
seal, any of 32 species of web-footed aquatic mammals that live chiefly in cold seas and whose body shape, round at the middle and tapered at the ends, is adapted to swift and graceful swimming. There are two types of seals: the earless, or true, seals (family Phocidae); and the eared seals (family Otariidae), which comprise the sea lions and fur seals. In addition to the presence of external ears, eared seals have longer flippers than do earless seals. Also, the fur of eared seals is more apparent, especially in sea lions.
